Wake up and have extra dark hot chocolate W/ skim milk.
*On weekends, I have a fresh waffle from the farmer's market. Lunch: Chobani yogurt, typically. Sometimes just edamame beans w/ salt. Snack: Raw veggies (red pepper, carrots, tomatoes) or fruit (banana, apple, orange.) Dinner: The following are my typical rotation (pasta w/ turkey bolognese w/ fresh shaved parm, and a green salad. Moby Dick chicken kebob w/ pita. Banh Mi sandwich from the food truck down the street. Thanksgiving sandwich. Taylor gourmet sandwich. Occasionally, sushi, pizza, or a hamburger w/ onion rings.) Dessert (daily) is either ice cream w/ hot fudge, bakery chocolate chipmcookie, cake slice, a good candy bar, TJ graham crackers. |

Breakfast - 2 packs instant oatmeal (if I'm running), 2 packs instant grits (if i'm not), plus a yogurt with some berries or pomegranate seeds mixed in.
Lunch - leftovers from the night before (if I cooked) or a microwave entree, generally with extra veggies thrown in. I like a mix of carbs (pasta, rice or potatoes) with 3-5 oz of lean protein and plenty of veggies. Dinner - generally a lean meat entree with a serving of carbs and a couple servings of veggies, sometimes washed down with milk. Sometimes I cook, other times I'll get takeout or eat out, and I try to eat a balanced meal if I can. Snacks - baby carrots, sometimes a hard-boiled egg, sometimes a cheese stick, sometimes a package of peanut butter cheese crackers, depending on whether I need more protein that day (if I lifted weights) or more carbs (if I ran 5-6 miles.) I feel hungry every couple hours. Dessert - I try to limit myself to a couple hundred calories after dinner, but I crave it after lunch too. I get pretty excited for special occasions where dessert is just assumed. Alcohol - typically a glass of red after my daughter's in bed, maybe an additional glass or two if I'm out socializing. I work out daily, typically burning off 300-600 calories, walk a lot and run every other day. I typically eat more than 2,000 calories a day and won't gain weight if I keep an eye on my sweets and my snacking. My diet is pretty healthy most of the time, with lots of variety. |

| 22:51 - how are you not starving all day? If I had your diet, I'd be thinking about the food I wasn't eating ALL DAY LONG. I don't think eating all of your calories at dinner is healthy. |

I'm a nanny so my diet varies day to day based on what's stocked at the home I work in, and what I'm feeding the kid.
Breakfast - usually nothing but 1 or 2 cups of coffee. Occasionally (maybe once a week) I'll get my act together enough to pack a bagel and cream cheese or stop and grab a muffin on my way to work. Snack - fruit, cheese, or toast later in the morning at work if I didn't have breakfast. Lunch - varies day to day, but usually starch + protein source (I don't eat meat - usually it's eggs or beans) + whatever veggies the kid doesn't eat. Snack - often a chocolate bar in the afternoon :blush: and another cup of coffee Dinner - there's a great salad bar at a grocery store down the street from my house - dinner is usually either salad from there (greens and veggies with cottage cheese and a bit of pasta salad with herb dressing), sushi, home-made stir-fry, or, more than I like to think about, pizza or fast food. My boyfriend and I are young and broke, so what I eat for dinner depends a lot on how the bank account's doing. |

Breakfast: Nature Valley protein bar and banana
Lunch: If I bring a lunch, turkey over spinach and avocado w/ lemon and EVOO or turkey/and or ham with swiss and mustard. With carrots or an orange. If a buy a lunch, all bets are off and I'll eat almost whatever I'm in the mood for. Coffee until about 3 PM. Snack: Get home from work and then pretend I didn't shove a bunch of chips and salsa down my face. Dinner: Protein with either double veggies or starch and veggie. On the weekend all bets are off too. And my home-cooked Sunday meal tends to be heavier/richer. I love classic cooking. |

LOL! This is very similar to my diet -- specifically the part where I get home from work. |

I posted that. Do you find that you're actually hungry when you get home, or it's just habit? Some days I am hungry and often think I'm just better off eating the "bad" lunch because it keeps me from after-work pig outs. But either way, I'm trying to quit that habit. So I've started going for long walks right when I get home. DH gets home later and we don't have kids yet so I have plenty of time. |

Lunch - Usually sashimi or a turkey, cheese and avocado wrap (no bread or tortilla, just those things rolled up). Water to drink. Snack: Proscuitto or pork rinds. Dinner: A meat and a veggie with wine. |

I'm the LOL poster. I actually am hungrier than crap when I get home. My work isn't conducive to eating a lot. I mostly drink coffee and eat almonds all day. By the time I get home, I want chips and a beer. Pretty much every night. Part of it might also be a longing for the days of Happy Hour as part of my regular life! |

8:00 Coffee
10:00 Smoothie made with 1/2 cup blueberries, half a frozen banana, 2 tablespoons flax seeds, 1/2 cup almond milk, teaspoon of flax oil 1:00 1/2 cup brown rice and about 3-4 cups of various vegetables, depending what I have (I try to keep a variety prepared), with sriracha. Today it was butternut squash, sauteed onions, green beans, broccoli, and green peas. 4:00 Fruit - today it will be a grapefruit Dinner (anywhere from 6pm to 9pm): It varies tremendously. If I am good, it is something like grilled chicken or fish with vegetables. Today it will be crockpot salsa chicken with broccoli. Yesterday it was sausage with green beans. Last week it was all out, pizza, salvadoran, ethiopian.... Next week will be more recipe type things such as shredded beef tacos and turkey meatloaf. After dinner: Sometimes a piece of chocolate or something little, often not. And generally a couple alcoholic beverages that run the gamut. |

22:51 here again. To respond to the poster who asked how I could consume the vast majority of my calories at the end of the day.....I get your question...and I know it is not ideal BUT it works for me- in large part because I often tend to eat on the earlier side--- I just REALLY like to enjoy good food AFTER the work day when I can enjoy it!!!  You are NOT the first person to comment on it. And probably not the last!
